Here's 2 views of my first design idea. The ugly wallpaper stands for climbing areas. The large wall is a zero angle traversing wall with some ceiling area climbable. The 45 degree wall is about 3' by 11'.

Here's an alternate design, less expensive and less intrusive, but not as many options. I could make the large low angle wall adjustable from near zero to pretty high using chains or some other method.

Revised version. a 15, 8 and 25 degree wall and a roof arete. Thanks to climb4free for the tips.

Use Sketchup to see the attached file to get the best view.

Let me know what you think. What would you change? [image]http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=6466;[/image]

This looks great! The next thing to think about would be: on your main wall surfaces, how many full sheets of ply will it require AND how many partials. Of those partials if any end up being very close to an even 4', you may want to adjust the angles of that particular wall just slightly to avoid an unneccesary cut.

Example would be, if it would require a 1' strip, maybe lessen the angle to eliminate the extra, or if it would require a 3' strip, steepen the angle to make it an even 4'.

Edited to add: I guess this only really applies to the wall on the left, as the other walls use the 4' width.

BTW: I love the roof arete. Does that go from the far side of the 25* wall and go diagonal to the near side of the 15*?

Right, I'll keep an eye on that once I settle on a basic layout. SketchUp will be very handy for laying out plywood sheets and even the framing.

Also, I'm starting to like the idea of making the 10' low angle wall adustable. Put the bottom on some kind of hinge and use 3 chain lengths and hooks to set the angle. Should be able to adjust from under 10 degrees to close to 45 which gives a lot of flexibility from easy traverse to pretty intense overhanging routes.
